This is the introductory book of this series of characters. They are certsinly that - characters! Sometimes one wants to tell then, "Come on, come on! No one would do that!" The author definately makes people believable. They do get into some "messes" though, that we non-fiction types would not! After completing the book, one feels that another peek at the story participants would be worthwhile.

TheCincinnati Post calls this " a First rate suspense whodunit... well written." The series is as charming as it's detective couple SaraH & Max, and her extended & eexcentric family, always make for a fun tale. Booklist says, "Suspense reigns supreme in MacLoeod's murder mystery, as buried family secrets come to light." "Sarah brings down Boston's best as she deadpans her way through family secrets covering embezzlement, blackmail, and murder... in the most delightful way! I have personally read 10 in the series, and have 2 more on my shelf!!!

I've read several of the later books in this series, and always wondered how and under what circumstances Sarah had lost her first husband. This one takes us back to those early days when she and Alexander were married and reveals "the rest of the story." One of the best books in the series.

I love this series and this is the first one. I had read some of the others and not found them to be that interesting , until I read the first one--then I wanted to reread them all.
A difficult read. Plodding plot progression. Little character development
